Objectives
Objectives:
- This 5-days course aims at understanding of the nature of corrosion patterns, exact causes of corrosion, prediction of locations where corrosion would take place and where to focus the in-service inspection efforts to get best results in minimum efforts. The course helps the participants to get a thorough overview optimum implementation of API in-service inspection program. In other words estimate the level of RISK and orient in-service inspection accordingly
- The course heavily relies on practical utility of this Recommended Practice by covering several examples, exercises and case studies.
